BroadwayGirl Posted May 11, 2021 #30 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Splendor out of NYC, November 2013, friends who set my now husband and I up in 2012 convinced us to come join them on their cruise. It was his first cruise and our first trip away together. We have cruised once, if not more, every year (except for 2020) since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingguy007 Posted May 11, 2021 #31 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Carnival Inspiration, don't remember the date, booked last minute, like a few days before sailing since it was a good deal and we always wanted to try cruising. Everyone loved it and we were instantly hooked but vowed to never again sail with only one cabin (we didn't realize how small it would be).

Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted May 11, 2021 #37 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, BrotherCraig said: Carnival Ecstasy, 2009, took my dad on his very first vacation ever. Side note: I met my wife on that cruise. Ouch. 😁 Great story! My first cruise was with my daughter in 2013. I didn't care that much for it because I missed the quality food and cultural experiences which enriched our previous vacations, usually training around Europe for a couple weeks. But my daughter loved it so we did it again in early 2014. Between 2014 and November 2019 we did 12 cruises. I had to change my expectations about what a vacation "should" be, but seeing how happy my daughter was made the initial sacrifice worth it, now I love cruising too - as long as we get one trip to Europe each year. I am getting weary of the Caribbean a bit though. Looking forward to the few we haven't visited, and revisiting San Juan, St. Kitts, St. Martin, Curacao and Half Moon Cay but if I never see Freeport, Belize City or Roatan again I'll be happy.
